Operator Interface Applications with Industrial PCs
Real-Time Operator Interaction for Smarter Shop-Floor Executions
Industrial PCs are being used to form an interface between the operator and central system in factory conditions.
They can be used in combination with both KeyPDTs and Smart Counters when there is the need to realize paperless factory applications, such as machine-based dashboard applications that KPIs are instantly presented to operators, launching an operation, setup and showing the operator instructions during quality test moments.
Advantages of using Industrial PCs as operator interfaces
- Bidirectional operation
All operational functions at the machine level can be executed bidirectionally, enabling seamless, real-time data flow between the central system, the machine, and the operator.
- Operation at the machine
Operator authentication (login) and work-order-driven production launches can be executed directly at the machine side.
- Instant problem detection
Issues related to low performance, quality drops, and operational bottlenecks are instantly identified by sharing system-calculated KPIs directly with operators in real time.
- Automatic instruction and work order detail
During production startup, work order details and essential operational instructions are automatically presented to the operator. Relevant guidance and work order updates are also automatically shared during setup and troubleshooting processes.
- Automatic operator guidance
Operators are automatically guided by being informed about workflows, processes and how to do them.
